Emergy-based fuzzy optimization approach for water reuse in an eco-industrial park

The establishment of an eco-industrial park (EIP) provides opportunity for individual plants to cooperate with each other in order to utilize resources efficiently and thus reduce waste. The goal of an EIP is to “close the loop” through recycling and reuse of material and energy streams. Studies show with current freshwater consumption trends there would be water stress aggravated by global warming in the near future. This paper presents a model to design an EIP water reuse network that considers overall system sustainability as measured with emergy, as well as cost saving desired by individual plants. Case studies from literature are then solved to illustrate the advantage of this method in decision making. The illustrative examples show how the model achieves a compromise among the potentially conflicting fuzzy goals of the various EIP stakeholders.     

基于主成分分析法的产业共生系统生态效率评价研究

生态工业园区是我国发展循环经济的重要载体,如何准确评价当前我国生态工业园区的生态效率对生态工业园区建设和发展有重要的意义。以生态效率和产业生态学理论为基础,参照国家环保总局《综合类生态工业园区标准（试行）》,建立了产业共生系统生态效率评价指标体系,并以主成分分析为基础,提出了产业共生系统生态效率评价方法。通过苏州高新区、苏州工业园区生态工业园和无锡新区生态工业示范园区等3个工业园区的案例研究得出样本指标中对生态效率影响最大的3个主成分和样本主成分的排名,以及生态效率进行比较排序,发现苏州工业园区生态工业园总体生态效率最高,无锡新区生态工业示范园区其次,苏州高新区则相对较差。根据各园区在各主成分的效率比较,指出各园区有待改进的环节。具体说明主成分分析在生态产业共生系统生态效率中的运用及优点。
